Artist Profile
Dj IMAIDJ Imai began his career as a club DJ based in Kyoto in the mid-90s. In just
over two years, he has emerged as a backup DJ for major artists and has been
booked as a headliner DJ at parties throughout Japan.
In addition to his precision scratching and skillful mixing sense, he is trusted by
the nightclub industry for his unique worldview of curating music.
In 2003, his name became known to a wider audience with the release of his
mixtape "FLOOR," which contained all of the DJ flair and passion he had
developed over his long career.
The mix tape, "THE BEST OF 2005 LUXURY LOUNGE," released at the end of
2005, sold out in an instant within a week of its release, and charted in the top
rankings at major CD shops and record stores in Japan.
His reign as a top nightclub DJ for more than 20 years can be attributed to his
credibility in the nightclub industry as described above, as well as his skill and
sense of making audiences dance.
In the past few years, he has also been applying the sense he has developed as
a DJ to producing music. His remixes and edits have been played by DJs not
only in Japan but also around the world.
